That setting for broken in Octave 6.

Closing as a duplicate of bug #60182 (which itself is a duplicate - but much easier to follow than the original report).

ahh, that option was on.  Turning it off allows keyboard copy/paste to work again, and back on resumes ctrl-c behaving more like 'cancel'.

checking back in 6.4, the copy/paste works whether that option is on or off.  is that change expected? 

i think with both 6 and 7 sharing a gui ini file, i can't quite tell what the default is expected to be in 7.

Works for me.

What is your setting for "Disable global shortcuts when Command Window has focus" on the "Shortcuts" panel of the preferences?

just downloaded Octave 7.0.1 (hg id: 181c44079f6c).  cannot copy/paste in the command window via keyboard (either Ctrl-C/V, or Ctrl/Shift-Insert.).  right click copy/paste and menu copy/paste work fine.

jumping back to 6.4.0, i see that the Ctrl/Shift-Insert didn't work there either, but the Ctrl-C/V worked fine.)

I see a number of bug reports for this coming and going back in the spring. perhaps it's a recurrent issue?
